Comment(by davilla@…):

 Not possible, as you have taken away the ability to target previous SDKs
 with 1.8.0. In addition, many libs are hopelessly broke until upstream
 fixes them (libsdl for example) under 1.8.0 build on 10.6.   We (TeamXBMC
 devs) build test and release on 10.4/10.5 and soon 10.6 and target a host
 of platforms ranging from older PPC, AppleTV to high end MacPros.

 All we ask is that you not break existing portfiles. It's relatively easy
 to delimit these new additions. Otherwise what you propose is that all
 previous versions MacPorts will be abandoned as more an more portfiles are
 broken. As pointed out above, 1.8.0 is totally useless for building XBMC
 for Mac and neither XBMC devs, Boxee devs nor Plex devs can use it without
 major hacks. This issue hits the three major Media Center Apps and it's
 developers. This also effect the hundreds of users that build their own
 versions from our svn.
